"Apostolic Christian" gets fired from Walmart...

[jediwill83]

I thinki it was the way in which she presented her opinion....I dont think this was a witch hunt.

As far as what she said... we should be allowed to voice our opinions on things. These days you can get fired if you voice a religious opinion and that is a crying shame.

The way they say she went about it is the issue that is questionable.

If you're going to discussion religion... especially religion and homosexuality... I say stay out of the Kitchen if you can't stand the heat.

Now... I wouldn't have answered in the words she used. I would have been a little more tactful about it. But lack of tact in wording shouldn't be a firing offense. Lack of tact in execution can get you escorted out.

There isn't much about what she said or the way she allegedly said it that I approve of on a personal level but I'm about tired of this thought police society.

i'd like to see the situation first hand. Maybe she was wrong or maybe not.

You don't have any rights to free expression while someone else is paying you. They have the right to regulate your speech.

Yeah, it's the thought police that I have the issue with. And the idea that maybe people can't seem to work with people they disagree with. If the woman was truly harassing the lesbian, (like Westboro does to people) then, she deserved to be fired. However, I dunno. I am not convinced either way. I have seen things happen that have been unjust both directions.

Who really know how it went down. Also loving the sinner and hating the sin is also can be incorrect statement. You cannot separate the sin from the sinner as the heart is what defiles. You can love what they can be but you do not love the person they are.

Maybe there'll be video posted on the walmart freakshow website.

Barn you are correct. I believe the employer has the right to determine work place social enviroment. IMO for the most part the GOV should stay of it. Of couse the courts have to hear a case but regulation IMO has been overboard.

In her statement, Amy reported that Matthews was “screaming over her” that
God does not accept gays, they should not “be on earth,” and they will “go to hell” because
they are not “right in the head.” Five other employees confirmed that Matthews had said
that gays are sinners and are going to hell.

So....hmmmm.....was she screaming like one person said? Or did she just say so like five others said? Most of the rest of the article was just describing things and wasn't really about the initial incident.

So, it might be the thought police or this employee was really a jerk. Maybe the judge was a lesbian out to cleanse Christians from the workplace. We have no idea.
